This is a game for those of you with EQ or are handy with graphics programs. Its an idea that cas (lurker from oz) and I came up with when discussing fun things our little group of instant messanger chatters could do in the coming year. One of the things that keeps us from doing more swaps and...

I'm recovering from a weekend spent at the Manchester Mini Maker Faire held at the Museum of Science and Industry. I spoke to lots of new quilters many of who said they were inspired to go away and continue by seeing my stuff - wow, what a buzz that has given me! I explained about sandwiching,...

I have a wild and crazy idea. What if all the huggers on the hug list were to go to the same web site and buy the same 6 1/2" square ruler as I have? ................ nahhhh............... Life might get boring if we get too much uniformity going on! LOL (but if you're interested, I will...

My SIL convinced me to enter some quilts in her local fair. I received a 3rd place in the baby quilt category (1st and 2nd were won by hand quilters, and one was a panel). I won 1st place for machine quilting, bed quilt, and this will go on to the district competition. I won 1st place for machine...

My Dearest Friends, I am stunned ! I never thought that I would be ever on the other end of a hug quilt. I love making blocks for other peoples hugs and hearing about their joy of receiving a quilt. I cried and murmured"oh, my God" about 50 times! it is so, so beautiful and the quilting is...

I used to quilt with a great group of folks every other Wednesday. I met these ladies when I took a course at my LQS one Saturday. It was a small group, 5-6 at any given time, but we got lots of quilts done. The person who hosted the group (most of the time due to small kids and the abundance of...

Pati Cook stopped by today with the most beautiful Hug quilt I've ever seen. I can't thank all you folks enough for your many kindnesses to me since Mom died. I've been pretty quiet here, not much time for reading and posting. It's really wonderful to know that not only am I not forgotten,...

Recently an author provided information to the news group concerning the availability of a recently published book. It was encouraging to notice that the "defenders" of their "no advertising policy" for the newsgroup remained silent and didn't chastise the author for breaching that...

I got squished today. It wasn't a surprise, I knew it would be coming. But when I held the envelope and felt it go "squish" in my hands, I got such a warm and fuzzy feeling . (The sender has been thanked privately, but here is another Thank You to her too :-) So, if you ever get the urge to...
